And since I always thought HRO stood for every type of HR outsourcing, and not just for comprehensive HRM BPO, which is truly the new kid on the block, I'm not unduly concerned that talk of big, broad, long-term deals will be in short supply. The comprehensive HRM BPO providers with whom I'm meeting are retooling as fast as they can to do these tough deals profitably and with much better customer outcomes, and at least some of them are on believable paths to do so. But -- there's always a but -- there'll be no cause for joy in Mudville, nor big name sponsors for all things HRO, unless 2008 and early 2009 bring back the excitement of the big score.

This is actually becoming the HR services event. My calendar completey maxed out for this two months' ago... should be quite a schmooze.
